Mine
Coal mine, Gold mine, Mine shaft
Deep in the earth, often in darkness, miners work to haul up something valuable. Underground work in a dream is often about patient effort toward a reward that isn't visible yet, like a skill you're building or a long project. Going down the shaft can mean you're willing to explore a subject or a feeling more deeply than before. Miners depend on each other in tight spaces, so a team you rely on may figure in it as well. Striking a rich seam is a cheerful sign that persistence is about to pay off.
